The Dodge Challenger Demon will have a fully configurable drag racing mode

The latest video tells us all about the race-ready information screen in the Demon and a hint about the horsepower. Like the Hellcat – and most Dodge models – the Challenger Demon will come with a large Uconnect infotainment system that allows the driver to control car functions. But the Demon’s system can do far more than actuate the heated seats.

The system can display real-time g-forces, engine revs, torque and horsepower. And this is where it gets interesting – aligned on the left side of the screen are horsepower call-outs from 100 to 700, but there’s a conspicuous blank space where an “800” should be. We can also see the torque curve rising above the 700 mark; while the Hellcat made a mere 650 lb.-ft., the graph – and clock readout – hints at a torque output of around 757 lb.-ft.

The system can also show vital information like supercharger inlet temperature, intercooler coolant temperature, and other vitals. The car will also allow the driver to enter one of three drive modes. The first is Auto (street) mode where you can select different levels of horsepower, along with three levels of suspension dampening and steering feel.

The next is called Drag mode and you give up preferences in the quest for the quickest drag strip runs. Transmission shift speed, traction control, suspension, and steering feel are all locked in to what Dodge believes will reward the lowest elapsed times.

For those who feel the drag mode to be too constricting, there’s Custom mode, where drivers can pick and choose between any setting they like to make their own blend. For example, you could run drag mode traction control and street mode steering feel if you desired.

Last but not least, the performance data in this video hints at a handful of specs. The most noteworthy being a zero-to-60 mph time of three seconds flat, compared to 3.8 seconds for the Hellcat.
